For Catherine Stanley:

We are also running WP5.1 on our VAXcluster. We convert our WordStar documents
on a PC with the free CONVERT program that comes with MS-DOS WP5.1. Then we
copy the files over the network to the VAX with PathWorks. You could, of course
use Kermit if you're not running PathWorks.

BTW-I'm REAL glad to see a VAX WP person on this list. I've been wanting to
connect with other VAX WP system administrators ever since I installed it on
our cluster.

Please tell all your friends in VMS-land to join up so we can trade our
problems/resolutions!
